"I thought you left already," she whispered against his chest.
"I will never leave without telling you," he stroked her hair.
A few minutes later, they are now downstairs, eating breakfast silently with each contemplating if they should break the silence.
"Why did you lie- no, why didn't you tell me?" she still can't get over it.
He dropped his chopstick on the holder then folded his arms on the dining table.
"You said you wouldn't want to be with someone you will have to worry about and Jia Yu told me the same thing so I decided to resign then I wouldn't have to tell you,"
After she found out, the first thing she did was get angry at the old nanny for not telling her then she called Jia Yu knowing she must also be together with them in this. Jia Yu pleaded with her that she didn't mean to lie to her and she also told her about how much Han Chen loved his job that he refused to leave even after his aunt pleaded with him. He left behind his parent's fortune that he cherishes so much because they are the fruits of his parent's effort just to do what he loves but Yu Yan didn't let her finish before she cut the call on her.
"You resigned because of me?"
"Not just because of you but because I didn't think I will be able to focus on any mission if I have to leave you behind, especially now that we have a child coming into this world," he sounded so remorseful and guilty that she can't help her heart-melting. The wall of anger has been crumbled to dust by the love and worry she feels for him.
"You should have just told me, we could have figured something out then you wouldn't have to leave the job you loved so much," she also sounded guilty. If she has to choose between him or her job as a surgeon then she will definitely choose him but a part of her will be lost and she might never be able to regain it even if she is happy with him.
"You spoke to Jia Yu?"
She nodded her head in affirmation.
"You shouldn't blame her, she kept asking me to tell you but I forced her to keep quiet about it,"
"I will take care of Jia Yu, for now, you need to tell me what you plan to do. Do you still have to go on that dangerous mission,"
He hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Yes, we will also have to move. If that bastard could find you then you might not be safe here, we should live in the mansion and I will increase the security around the place or you can stay at Jia Yu's while I am away,"
She lowered her head, gripping her chopstick tightly. She has given it a thorough thought and now she knows he really is doing it for their sake but she really doesn't want him to go.
"When do you have to leave and when will you be back?"
"In one week, the mission should take at least one month with my level of expertise but I promise to be back in two weeks,"
He sensed she is trying to hold back something until she suddenly smiled. He became confused, especially when she raised her head with a delighted look on her face.
"I am realising yet again just how much I love you, I should be angry at you for years to come but I can't even look at you and not meltdown," she confessed.
A smile broke out on his face hearing her words, he also didn't expect her to be so calm already knowing her personality. He stood up from his seat and walked over to her where he took a seat beside her.
"I love you too," He kissed the back of her hand.
She placed her hand on his face.
"I guess I should feel proud that I have such an awesome husband, you are even more of a skilled fighter than I am,"
"I don't think that bastard would have said that to you so I suppose you spoke to Roy and Shi Fen yesterday,"
They chuckled.
"They told me how you took down a hundred men alone when you saved a group of girls from armed traffickers and many other accomplishments, at first I was gushing over you but I realised I should be angry instead,"
"Then why don't you punish me anyhow you want,"
"That's right, then your punishment should be...take me out on dates until you leave for the mission,"
"Huh- but that is,"
"No haggling! I heard you are a man of your word so you should also uphold your word to your wife, if I wasn't pregnant then I would have kicked your ass for deceiving me,"
He smirked as he leaned towards her ear.
"Are you sure you can still defeat me?" his soft breath brushed against her ear, tickling her.
He kissed her ear, then her cheeks, then her forehead and her nose while she laughed heartily. In her heart, she knows she would never be able to get angry at him for more than a day if she can forgive him easily for this.
Well...there are people she would have to keep this a secret from- The Huo family.

Two weeks later.
{I have to leave now, guardian already told me he will soon arrive at the flowing mountain}
She bit her nails in hesitation, she already planned to escape by blowing up the ancestral memorial room. She cast a barrier on the memorial tablet in addition to the one her father placed on the memorial tablets which learnt from Mo Yuhan when he came to visit her the second time.
She has been planning this for months now and she has prepared herself to face the consequence of destroying the ancestral memorial room but at least no harm will come to the tablets since she used her own power to cast the barrier. This will distract them for a while and will give her a chance to escape without having to fight or hurt anyone.
Since the two disciples guarding her always leave at this time of the day as she has calculated, she decided to take action now.
{I am really sorry but I have to go...}
She closed her eyes and waved her hands then she directed her flames towards the door, blasting it open with the entire room. The blast shook the ground taking everyone by surprise that they soon started racing towards the memorial room.
Meanwhile, Lin Bohai who has been staking outside the flame sect widened his eyes at the ball of flames that erupted in the sky before it went out. He can tell by the heat that it must have come from Huo Lan.
{Huo Lan...}
He was going to go in but he halted at the sight of someone running out of the forest, he hid behind a tree but he was shocked to see that the person is actually Huo Lan.
{What is she doing here?}
If she is here then that means he has to...do what he came here to do, the one thing he has been staking outside the flame sect in a cloak for, the one thing he took five months to decide to do, the one thing he broke his heart to pieces for.
{You shouldn't have left the sect}
Balling his fist, he went after her while making sure she is not aware of his presence.
He was tortured by the pills but it made his will to survive to grow stronger along with his envy for her powers. He has always been regarded as the strongest and most talented youth in his generation but he can't live knowing she is superior to him especially since she could have been the one responsible for what happened in the restaurant on that day.
The strongest flame power and the extinct ice power.
The thought of possessing both powers plagued his thoughts every day despite how hard he tried to push it away using the excuse of his love for her. If only he can obtain both powers and her internal strength then he will become the strongest cultivator the world has ever seen including Huo Yi Lang who was a villain in the heart of the people.
If I can't have her then I will have her sister.
He remembered the confusion he feels every time he sees Huo Ying, then he made up his mind. Instead of rotting in the dark cell under the torture of the pill, he had better do as his father wants then he will overthrow his father and take over the wind sect, he can also have Huo Ying if his plan succeeds.
So he conceded to his father.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
